Overview
Ship is a dating app that lets friends help you find love. Users can create 'crews' with friends who can swipe on their behalf and suggest potential matches. This collaborative approach adds a fun social element to dating and helps you get input from people who know you best.
Cross-shopped
Each pairing was judged by two reviewers asking whether a buyer would genuinely weigh the two against each other. The ones that failed were deleted rather than published.

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Ship, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
